TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Due to the film's modest budget, Axl Rose donated the use of Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child O' Mine" free of charge for the final match.

Mickey Rourke actually "blades" (cuts his own forehead with a razor) in this film to add realism to the role. This is also known by the wrestling term as "gigging," "getting color," or "juicing".

Darren Aronofsky revealed that Mickey Rourke was the first choice to play Randy "The Ram" Robinson but the studio wanted Nicolas Cage. Aronofsky fought to have Rourke as "The Ram", and ultimately won out.

The first scene of Randy working the deli counter was improvised. When real customers kept walking up to the counter during filming, Darren Aronofsky told Mickey Rourke to take their orders while the camera would continue rolling. Also improvised were all of the backstage locker room scenes.

Hulk Hogan claimed on The Howard Stern Show (1990) that he was offered the role of Randy "The Ram" Robinson. Hogan claims he turned down the role because he felt he wasn't the right man to portray the character. Darren Aronofsky publicly disputed this, stating that Hogan was never considered, and that Mickey Rourke was his only choice for the role.

Popular Dialogues

"Randy 'The Ram' Robinson: The only place I get hurt is out there. The world don't give a shit about me."

"Randy 'The Ram' Robinson: I just want to tell you, I'm the one who was supposed to take care of everything. I'm the one who was supposed to make everything okay for everybody. It just didn't work out like that. And I left. I left you. You never did anything wrong. I used to try to forget about you. I used to try to pretend that you didn't exist, but I can't. You're my girl. You're my little girl. And now, I'm an old broken down piece of meat... and I'm alone. And I deserve to be all alone. I just don't want you to hate me."
